20160036693 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENSURING RELIABILITY OF UNICAST VIDEO STREAMING AT A VIDEO STREAMING PLATFORM - A method implemented in an electronic device serving as a stream distributor distributing unicast video and audio streams of a streaming platform system is disclosed. The stream distributor receives a unicast data flow containing data of a video and audio stream from a load balancer, the unicast data flow being transmitted in user datagram protocol (UDP) packets. The method includes the electronic device detecting initiation of a maintenance activity on a virtual machine or its host associated with the stream distributor. The method includes the electronic device indicating a failure mode of the stream distributor, where the failure mode indication is to cause the load balancer to switch the unicast data flow to an alternate stream distributor. The method also includes the electronic device detecting a completion of the load balancer switching the unicast data flow to the alternate stream distributor, and halting the distribution of the unicast data flow. | 02-04-2016 |

20090163272 | CONNECTED GAMING - Systems and methods are provided that facilitate a connected gaming experience for multiple players utilizing multiple disparate devices. A game service affords playing a game over a communication framework which can include wired and wireless local area and wide area networks, as well as access to a global positioning system. The game service allows users to play a game in multiple devices, seamlessly switching devices at desired times and locations. In addition, the game service affords community-driven development of a game, as well as customization, through the communication framework. The latter also facilitates exchange of various contents among players, and between a player and the game service: (a) news, (b) advertising, (c) alerts, and (d) participant's real-world positioning information. Real-world embedding into a game is facilitated by the game service in combination with global tracking information received through the communication framework. | 06-25-2009 |
20100317430 | Discovery and Distribution of Game Session Information - Discovery and distribution of game session security information includes receiving a request to generate a new game session from a computing device and maintaining a record of a game session identifier for the new game session and a game session key for the new game session, and making the new game session available for other computing devices to join. A request for information describing one or more of a plurality of game sessions may also be received and responded to with the information describing the one or more game sessions as well as a session key that can be used to communicate with at least one of the one or more other computing devices that are part of the game session. | 12-16-2010 |

20080276969 | APPLIANCE WITH UNIQUE LOCKING RECEPTACLES - A substrate treating appliance utilizing a plurality of different chemistries for different cycles or different wash loads with a plurality of receptacles for receiving a plurality of cartridges containing the different chemistries. Each receptacle has one half of a lock and key connection arrangement providing a unique interconnection configuration at each receptacle, relative to the remaining receptacles, permitting only a selected type of chemistry cartridge to be accepted at a particular receptacle. A connection effected between the cartridge and the receptacle occurs by rotation of the cartridge relative to the receptacle between an insertion orientation and a locking orientation. Each receptacle is shaped to receive a cylindrical mouth wall of a particular type of chemistry cartridge. Each receptacle may also be uniquely sized, relative to the remaining receptacles, to accept only a selected type of chemistry cartridge. The plurality of receptacles may be arranged adjacent to one another with each cartridge having a configuration that prevents insertion of a cartridge into a receptacle unless every cartridge located in an adjacent receptacle is rotated to the locking orientation. | 11-13-2008 |
20130188439 | ELECTRICAL CORD ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY FOR A HAND MIXER - A hand mixer includes an outer casing and a mixing element coupled to an electric motor. The hand mixer includes a cord guide that is configured to pivot about a pivot axis, an electrical cord extending through the cord guide, and a retaining clip that engages the cord guide to couple the cord guide to the outer casing. The hand mixer also includes a locking mechanism operable to retain the cord guide in a first position about the pivot axis. | 07-25-2013 |
20150117141 | MAGNETIC DISC COUPLER - A blending appliance includes a housing with a jar receiving area defined between an upper housing and a support base. A blender jar includes a base portion and a receptacle portion, and is configured to be laterally received within the jar receiving area of the housing. A magnetic coupling system includes an upper magnetic coupler disposed in the base portion of the blender jar and a lower magnetic coupler disposed in the support base of the housing. The upper and lower magnetic couplers are magnetically coupled to one another for driving a blade assembly disposed in the receptacle portion of the blender jar. A brake mechanism is disposed on the upper magnetic coupler and is configured to stop rotation of the upper magnetic coupler when the blender jar is removed from the jar receiving area. | 04-30-2015 |
